Chapter 159: Sunflowers!
Athena was forcefully pulled by Andrei from Athena’s office all the way to a small path next to the hotel. Andrei paced back and forth on the spot, his expression not good. Athena knew she had crossed Andrei’s bottom line, but for Ji Xiangyu, she truly had no other choice.
Andrei was very angry. Why didn’t Athena discuss it with him properly when she went to see Situ Jingyi? Did she think he, Andrei, didn’t know she could rely on him?
Athena knew she had made a mistake and worried Andrei again, but: “I~~~I’m sorry, I was just in a hurry to save the Chairman, which is why I made a miscalculation!”
Andrei finally suppressed his anger. It was a fact that a woman in love had a lower IQ. “You should go home for today. You don’t need to worry about the hotel matters anymore. You must be tired!”
Athena looked at Andrei with worry. “General Manager, I truly know I was wrong!”
Andrei was completely defeated by Athena. He could overcome any difficulty in his life, but Athena was the one who worried him the most.
He deliberately softened his tone. “I’m not blaming you. I just can’t stand seeing you suffer any grievance in front of that woman. I~~~~”
The next moment, Athena threw herself into Andrei’s embrace and said, “Thank you, thank you, General Manager, for always treating me like family all these years. I’ve grown up now and can judge many things. I’m truly sorry to make you worry about me, your sister!”
Andrei looked at the sky and sighed softly into the air. Athena had always treated her like a dear brother, and she had always thought he treated her like a dear sister. Heaven really liked to play tricks. If they couldn’t be lovers, they could at least be siblings. At least, he could be by her side and watch her happiness.
Andrei’s stiff hand never returned Athena’s embrace. He simply reached out to create distance between himself and Athena, saying, “Since we’re family, why thank me? You’re being too formal!”
Athena smiled playfully. Indeed, she was sometimes like a child who never grew up. Seeing Andrei’s face no longer angry, she immediately leaned in and flattered him, “Hehe, since the General Manager said so, I’ll continue working this afternoon. I also want to~~~~” She also wanted to be the first person the Chairman saw when he returned.
She didn’t finish her sentence, but Andrei could guess. He didn’t expose it, just kept a cold expression.
Back at the hotel, Bruce stepped forward and whispered something in Andrei’s ear. Andrei, with a displeased expression, said to Athena, “You go and see what needs to be handled in the guest rooms first. Bruce and I are going out for a bit!”
Athena looked at Andrei and Bruce with doubt. Their expressions were so nervous. Could something major have happened?
Could it be Ji Xiangyu?!
After Andrei and Bruce left, Assistant Che approached and said, “Chief Assistant, the Chairman will be back soon. If you’re not busy, could you help me buy some sunflowers from the flower shop?”
Athena asked in confusion, “Why sunflowers!?”
Assistant Che smiled slightly. “Because sunflowers are given to people who have been released after being detained. It’s an old custom. It’s said that this way, future life can be filled with sunshine and vitality!”
Athena replied with a smile, “Okay, I’ll take care of it!”
Assistant Che looked at Athena gratefully and then went back to work.
Athena took a taxi to a flower shop called Meiyuan Yuan, diligently searching for the sunflowers Assistant Che had mentioned.
Finally, a sales assistant helped her choose some. While waiting for them to be wrapped, she saw a bouquet of Blue Enchantresses being beautifully arranged nearby. Her memory drifted back to the days in Malaysia a few days ago. Those days, they truly felt like a honeymooning couple. Thinking of this, her heart couldn’t help but feel happy. But then she realized a serious problem: during the most intimate moments between lovers those days, they seemed to have not used any safety measures.
She touched her stomach uneasily. Would something happen? It was also around the time she was due for her period these days, and she felt a bit abnormal.
“Miss, your flowers are wrapped! Would you like to write a message?” The shop assistant’s voice brought her back to reality.
She smiled and said softly, “I’ll write it!”
The shop assistant handed her a card. She picked up the pen, and her gentle handwriting appeared on it: May you always have a heart as bright and happy as the sun.
The signature was her name in Russian, Афnha!
